Target:
Expanding students' horizons and developing cognitive interest in studying geography.

Equipment:
task cards.
Progress of the event
I. Organizational moment.
II. Holding an event.
— We are used to studying geography using strict school textbooks, atlases, and encyclopedic publications. Is it always possible to talk about geography only in geography lessons? No. This will be my goal today - to prove to you that geography is an all-pervasive science, and of course we will check how extensive your knowledge of geography is.
So we begin...
- Today we have three teams of students competing, let's greet each other.
- Team greetings (name, motto, team captain) – worth 3 points
— Each team is evaluated by a jury and the results are reported after each competition. (each correct answer – 1 point).
1st competition “The country has realized”
(geography + ingenuity)
1) Mystery warm-up:
1st team

2nd team

- He is in both summer and winter - between heaven and earth, even if you go to him all your life - he will always be ahead (horizon);
- It picked up dust from the road, and then, gathering strength, spun, spun and soared into the sky like a column (a tornado);
- Well, half the planet lives in this part of the world, and, of course, here, without a doubt, are the largest mountains (Asia);
3rd team
- In geography, a drawing looks like a large carpet. And on it my country is visible from end to end (map);
- Everyone goes around this place: here the ground is like dough, here there is sedge, hummocks, mosses... There is no support for the feet (swamp);
- The wind raged in the sea, turning the waves into a shaft. He did a lot of things and where Neptune was looking (storm, storm);
- It’s not clear where I am now? The steppes here are called “prairie”. Here they call any shepherd a “cowboy” (America).
2) Geographical charades:
- To solve charades you need to know geography.
For example:
